first ever night ride

pyro22487 - 25-7-2011 at 09:17 PM

im going to attempt my first ever night buggy. tomoorw night 15 to 20 mph im thinking 5 meter flow and for the ride a libre vmax. i know im insane we have almost no moon tomorrow. it will atleast be cool. i may be insane but at least i will have some fun this week. hopefully the drunks coming out of the bar directly to the south of the field keep there eyes on the road and not on the huge shiny kite. i almost forgot the field i am going to fly in is in the city at least it is well lit by the lights.

Are we going to have a guess at how many UFO sitings there will be ??

Oh dear... drunken bar patrons + kite in park n ride mode... Yep lots of UFO!

blinking lights? Lil Led's?

fun fun if i could find any in this city. I have thought about the lights thing before. lol. The drunken patrons are my worry. Just what we need a rash of Drunk driver wrecks happening 50 feet from a bar.

t minus 2 hours and counting untill i go home from this job and try my night flight. usairnet says 16mph from the south so hopefully 5 meters will do it.

How did it go ?

Ok so the field I went to sucks I just wont fly in it anymore. I will have to head to the good field. Not sure when i will get the chance probably some time next week.

Sucks :( the 20 knots that was forecast today turned out to be ... 4. You're not alone :lol:

pyro22487 - 27-7-2011 at 12:55 PM

the field is next to a housing addition and the wind just sucks. if the wind is from the north its not to bad but south winds it comes through this neighborhood full of trees. sucks that wind wasn't forecasted right for you.
